With the help of my best friend @lexart, we removed and cracked open the PCM from my CS, then installed Nick's CarPlay system. The PCM is now buttoned up and we will test and reinstall it tomorrow. Hopefully, at that point, I will have a working CarPlay system!
Congrats. Make sure not to connect to fuse that runs after car is off. Mine was eating battery power after car was off.
Good catch. I don't like to stack *too* many projects at once...and the vents themselves come out pretty nicely. But...I am concerned about getting the vents apart...may just not do it... I did some playing with a sacrificial vent and it seemed to be a real PITA to get it apart...

...so, the vent comes apart quite nicely. I did two vents, and wasn't at all happy with the first, not really happy with the second. *But* they didn't go back together nicely...seems I need to trim the vinyl a lot more aggressively so it's not in the way. I ended up pulling it off and will try it again some other time...
Hold the congrats...we have the reinstall ahead of us today...and of course, the rest of the Cab.
Are you suggesting that the power source should be different from the original OEM setup?
There's one wire that goes the the side passenger fuse box. I had mine connected to where it shuts off after some time instead of when ignition is turned off. It was draining my battery.

Did you install Nick's kit? I don't have a power wire that needs a connection...
I'm getting power to both the unit and to the processing box. But I'm not getting the screen to show anything, and I've reseated the ribbon cables three times...
Argh!

Now I've had the box apart six times, changed some things around, and still no joy. I'm talking with Nick by email now...
Windshield wiper changes on this platform are an absolute breeze. Literally rotate, slide old one off, slide new one on, and you’re done. Not even a single clip.

Oh ok, yeah, they literally just hang out without any locks. First time I changed mine, I was confused as to how to lock. Haha
Replaced the AC blower motor and cabin filter on my 2011 turbo. Simple easy job. $73 for the blower motor and $8 for the cabin filter. An hour of my time...way cheaper and more satisfying than taking into a shop or the dealer. Headlight seals and rear shade gears next on the list!

Just did the blower motor on my 14. What motor did you use for 73 dollars?
What does Nick say? Is it possible to brick the PCM?
I went through it again and now, with original configuration, the system is trying to load an update. I put an audio disk in just to see if that would wake the system up...I think it's confused. Not sure how to get it out of this cycle...update, reboot, update... Can't get the disk out with the eject button. Sigh...
